It has been the toast of the blogosphere for quite a while, Scarlett Johansson is releasing a whole album full of Tom Waits covers. The glamourous star had a few musical attempts before, but nothing of this scope. David Sitek of TV on the radio produces. David Bowie adds some backing vocals on two of the songs, “Falling Down” and “Fannin Street”. Members of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Celebration collaborate. The deep voice and classy atmospheric production at times reminds us to Nico…
First thoughts?: It might as well justify the hype.
